Thomas Bird fitting advice: Bourne
"Fits ever so slightly generous by around a quarter size. With leather insoles, they fit true to size. If you are inbetween sizes, then we normally recommend dropping down to the nearest whole size."

Product details

Why choose the blue suede Bourne?

Bourne is an elegant double-buckle monkshoe with a clean, contemporary silhouette for a formal or smart casual look.

With its distinctive capped rounded toe and two metal buckles adding subtle interest, the blue suede Bourne is supple and comfortable adding flair and attitude to your look.

Looks good with...

A pair of Bourne monkstraps complement smart tailoring beautifully but try them sockless with a jacket and light chinos for a more contemporary, individual look. With the hardware adding detail and interest, this is a smart casual shoe that transitions easily from day to evening wear. Don't step on these gorgeous blue suede shoes!

This exquisite colourway exudes confidence and complements superbly with blue, or as a contrast to light greys and neutrals.

Stitched leather sole and stacked leather heel

The sole is stitched onto the upper using a traditional and refined Italian method called Blake stitching. This allows the sole to be easily replaced when it eventually wears but we've used a rubber insert as well, to aid longevity and grip.

There is a 25mm genuine-leather stacked heel, with 6 brass pins and a rubber piece, again for longer wear and better grip. There is also a ‘gentleman’s corner’, a small bevel that reduces snagging of the heel on your trousers. We've even added an embossed Thomas Bird logo in the waist of the sole too, a distinctive feature of our brand.

Materials and craftsmanship

We work with the finest Italian artisan shoemakers who showcase their expertise in cutting, shaping, stitching and dying leathers, skilled crafts that have been handed down through the generations.

With attention to detail being paramount, leathers are carefully selected by weight and pliability and cut to form the pattern to fit the last. Then several stages of dying the suede to create the depth and richness of the unique blue colour.

Italian made

Italy is renowned for the quality and style innovation of its beautiful leathers and components used in the shoemaking process.

It has a strong and well-deserved reputation as the home of fine craftsmanship and attention to detail and we want nothing less for our Thomas Bird collection.
